Did you know that... 👉 at least 33% of the world population suffer from a neurological disease? (1) 👉 since 1993, our focus in Research & Development has delivered two new medicines: an antiepileptic drug and a treatment for Parkinson's Disease symptoms. At BIAL we are determined to discover, develop, and deliver innovative solutions that help to make real improvements to the lives of people living with severe neurological conditions. 🧠 A commitment we reinforce, on this World Brain Day, towards Neuroscience. #BIAL #BIALKeepingLifeinMind #InspiredByTheFuture #WorldBrainDay 1: https://lnkd.in/dq-DTCY7

Our 100 years have been the motto for many remarkable initiatives. And, on June 25, another special event took place, in which we discussed the Future in Health and Economy, in Portugal and in the World: the Conference "BIAL 100 Years – Shaping the future". This conference, in Fundação de Serralves, brought together His Excellency, the President of Portugal, the Minister of Economy, Pedro Reis, António Vitorino, Former Director General of the International Organization for Migration, Luís Portela, President of the BIAL Foundation, António Horta Osório, Chairman of the company and António Portela, our CEO, moderated by Clara de Sousa. And the President of Portugal even decorated BIAL as an Honorary Member of the Military Order of Sant'Iago da Espada!

The Internet is a world full of information. And it’s not always easy to select "good" information. It could be the motto of our Top of Mind podcast, but it’s also the subject of today’s episode. Brenda Moura, cardiologist and member of the European Society of Cardiology, and Isabel Moiçó, journalist, explore this topic, especially concerning heart failure. Every episode of Top Of Mind, our podcast focused on improving global health literacy, are on our website, on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and PodBean. https://lnkd.in/geeGxrDh #BIAL #BIALKeepingLifeinMind #InspiredByTheFuture

We will use some of our digital space to clarify terms or procedures in order to enrich the health literacy of our followers. Would you like to understand BIAL's Research and Development (R&D) area a little better? 👉 Neurosciences Through the study of the nervous system, neuroscience seeks to understand the diseases that affect it - such as Parkinson’s and epilepsy - and their etiology. It is estimated that at least 33% of the world population suffers from a neurological disease. 👉 Rare Diseases Rare diseases affect more than 300 million people worldwide, half of whom are children, and 95% of these diseases have no cure. 🤝 We will continue to work inspired by the future.

In the "Our People" section of our website, we present the people who help BIAL in fulfilling its mission, with their knowledge and work. Meet Nuno Costa, Senior Manager, Qualifications & Projects! As an engineer, he thinks his interest in the area may be related to the first electric shock he got at the age of 7😊. It sounds like a good place to start, doesn't it? He is a curious person, he likes to keep abreast of technological news and to dedicate his free time to reading and researching. It is undoubtedly enriching to have Nuno on our team. https://lnkd.in/dTeNa48D #BIAL #BIALKeepingLifeinMind #InspiredByTheFuture

#Videofriday #19 is here! And with it comes the message of José Aranda da Silva, former president of INFARMED, I.P., and of the Ordem dos Farmacêuticos.
